Linkages
Over the years, the NSCN-IM has tried to develop extensive linkages both within and outside India. It is alleged that Pakistan and China are providing finance as well as arms and ammunition to NSCN in their fight for independence against the Indian Government.
It is believed that NSCN patronized smaller extremists outfits in the North East of India by giving warfare and intelligence trainings and providing logistics for waging war against India.
The outfit has also opened up contacts with international organizations like the UN Human Rights Organization in Geneva, Unrepresented Nations People's Organization (UNPO) at the Hague and the UN Working Group on Indigenous People (UNWGIP).
China is also instrumental in providing training and arms, which was established after the arrest of the top NSCN IM leader Anthony Shimray. After his arrest by the Indian intelligence agencies he also revealed that he was tasked by chinese intelligence agencies to collect and gather intelligence on indian troop deployments in north eastern states of india. Further it is also alleged that NSCN is the major faction that helps many other minor militant outfits in north east and is widely accepted as the main reason of continued insurgency in north eastern states of Indian republic.
